Chapter 138 Letter to Fellow Flower World Members

[Women have never been absent in the torrent of history. There is such a little-known history that they deserve to be remembered by everyone. 】

[A professor told a story about a brothel girl saving the country at a patriotism lecture:

During the May Fourth Movement, prostitutes who were determined to save the country formed the Brothel National Salvation Association. They printed and distributed more than 2,000 leaflets, which read: "We are in the prostitute industry, and although our profession may be humble, we all love our country. I hope our compatriots will stick to this goal and persevere to the end. We will fight to the death until the traitors are eliminated and the students are released." - A warning from the Brothel National Salvation Group.

In order to protect the students who were participating in the movement at the time, they often sat on rickshaws, waving white flags with "Please Do Not Riot" written on them, reminding students to stay rational.

One of the prostitutes, Miaolian, donated 50 yuan to the anti-Japanese patriotic movement and wrote an open letter entitled "A Letter to Fellow Flower Girls", calling on her fellow flower girls to join the movement to safeguard national sovereignty.

"I advise my fellow flower lovers to follow their conscience and fulfill their duty as citizens." 】

"Good, great good!"

Ying Zheng's eyes were filled with respect. In the face of national crisis, even if they were despised by the world, they were heroes for their country and their people!

Their patriotism was materialized at this moment. They used themselves as a sharp sword to save the country and eliminate traitors. They were loyal and generous, and united together in the country's weak moment.

Fusu also had a look of admiration on his face. In later generations, he was always fearless in the face of national crisis, and dared to fight, take risks and take responsibilities.

Such a country and family is where the nation will not be extinct. Even when the dynasty declined, a group of people with lofty ideals devoted themselves to it, ensuring that the Chinese heritage and spirit would be immortal, and generation after generation brought it back to its peak.

The girls in the brothel had tears in their eyes. If possible, they would have wanted to be ordinary people. But the sisters behind them were braver than them and did something extraordinary.

[Wu Chichang of the Qing Dynasty once recorded in "Ke Chuang Xian Hua" that the bandits in Nanjing bought young girls from all over the place, selected the pretty ones, conditioned their skin, decorated their clothes... and sold them to officials, businessmen and wealthy people as concubines, or even to brothels. This was called "raising skinny horses."

It can be seen that most of the women in brothels are young girls from good families, but in order to satisfy the selfish desires of some people, they are abducted and sold and become pariahs.

Even though the perverted desires of society made them lose their freedom and dignity, after reading poetry and understanding the truth, they still showed strong patriotic feelings and personal integrity. 】

Some were in tears, some were numb. They were imprisoned by this era, but as living people, they were not commodities, without thoughts or feelings, and they had no control over their own actions.

[During the Anti-Japanese War, there was a story in Nanjing where prostitutes replaced female students to deal with the Japanese army.

They are small people, even the underworld people who are despised by everyone, but they have proved with their actions that "even merchant women know the sorrow of losing their country."

In 1919, the May Fourth Movement broke out, and brothels in Shanghai, Changsha and other places spontaneously organized a patriotic group called the "Brothel National Salvation Corps."

According to historical records, a brothel girl named Miaolian donated her personal savings of 50 yuan to the National Assembly, and also used her own money to print a "Notice to Fellow Prostitutes" and distributed it to brothels.

It says:

"China is on the verge of extinction. The reason it has not yet perished is entirely due to the aspirations of the people. When the news of the diplomatic failure came, the patriotic students first took the initiative to punish the traitors and boycott Japanese goods.

Within a few days, people from all walks of life across the country were united, even the small workers refused to work with the Japanese. It can be seen that the survival of the people is the only hope for our country.

Only my brothel did not take any action.

Based on my conscience, I have come up with a few ideas to advise my fellow flower lovers across the country to follow their conscience and fulfill their duty as citizens.

Boycott Japanese goods and do everything possible to rescue arrested patriotic students.

Donate to the National Assembly and the Student Union within your ability.

Once this report was issued, brothels in Shanghai, Tianjin, Changsha and other places closed down one after another. Everyone stopped doing business and spontaneously took to the streets to distribute leaflets.

The First Emperor looked at the video clips on the screen, and beneath his heavy makeup he showed a patriotic heart. Such people are like fireflies in front of this endangered country, but one day they will gather into lights to illuminate the way forward.

Wu Zhao's eyes were stern, but there was a hint of tenderness as she looked at the sky. So what if she was a woman? She was also a savior of the country, and everything she did could be called heroic.

The sands of history cannot erase their glory. Are they the ones who bear the infamy? It is just that group of literati who are using this method to undermine the women's ambitions.

Princess Taiping had eyes similar to those of the Empress on her delicate face. Looking at the sky curtain, she admired with all her heart that Miaolian was truly an extraordinary woman.

It must have been difficult for them to spontaneously form an organization at that time. Having witnessed the oppression of women in later dynasties, especially those bad habits, her eyes were full of ambition. Why couldn't a woman do what a man on the throne could do?

Now that what Li Longji will do in the future has been exposed, it is still uncertain who will win this time.

Many people looked at the students running in the picture and just wanted to run faster and faster. Once they were caught by those villains, the consequences would be unimaginable.

[People at that time were all lamenting that even prostitutes were patriotic, but this group of government officials wearing black hats threw patriotism to the winds. It was truly lamentable and hateful.

Later, the patriotic movement initiated by the Shanghai flower community gradually extended to the entertainment industry. Many entertainers also joined the great cause of saving the country and the people. Even thieves and pickpockets went on strike at this time.

Only steal from foreigners, not from local people.

In 1931, after the September th Incident broke out, brothels across the country would entertain marching students and provide meals for free.

"We in the flower world may be a humble profession, but we all love our country."

Even though I am in a low position, I still dare not forget to worry about my country. Even a merchant woman knows the sorrow of losing her country.

They may hardly appear in textbooks, but female power has never been absent in history. 】

Everyone watched the last video with red eyes.

Because they helped students resist the Japanese invaders and deal with them, they sang Qinhuai Scene for the last time.

The woman spoke tenderly and said her final farewell to her sisters. The group of students looked at these sisters who had replaced them with mixed feelings.

Once upon a time, this group of people were despised by everyone, but now they are their heroes.

After cutting off their precious long hair, everyone put on student clothes, except for that special "female student".

Everyone knows what the outcome will be, but they still embark on this path.

A man looked at the words "The merchant woman knows not to forget the hatred of losing her country" written in his hand. Although what he wanted to say most was about that group of rulers, the meaning of this sentence had changed as his poem was passed down to later generations.

The emperors thought that most of them were trafficked into brothels, which was illegal, and they felt they had one more thing to worry about.

Officials below: Surprise inspection, surprise inspection!

All the major brothels were also inspected by the imperial court, which made many people grit their teeth. The world was truly out of control.

Leng Xiaoyun had no idea that an unknown person was actually hating him. He only lamented that the history he had learned was really omitted.

In ancient times, chastity was considered more important than life, and the slightest mistake could ruin one’s life.

With just a slight movement of their fingers, they can give double likes and forward the messages in one go. They deserve to be seen by more people.
